Jon Stewart jokes "I was a little worried" over Paramount-Skydance merger during The Daily Show summer break (https://deadline.com/2025/09/jon-stewart-the-daily-show-paramount-skydance-merger-trump-1236512849/)
“We took the back-end of the summer off there, and I don’t know if you noticed, but we have new owners here at the network," he said on his return after five weeks off. Didn’t know if they would let us back in the building?

We aren’t holding back and we don’t intend to." (https://deadline.com/2025/09/the-daily-show-desi-lydic-addresses-new-paramount-leaders-1236510649/)
